"30 Rock is ending this week but I hope it has a long life in syndication," Fey told reporters backstage. "I look forward to another generation of nerds finding it and enjoying it. I hope it survives that way."

Fey also revealed that she is thrilled to win a SAG award for her role as Liz Lemon, saying: "I think everyone has the instinct of, 'When's the other shoe going to drop?' But if something good happens, just try to enjoy it - and this was certainly a really, really lovely surprise."
